How do you know when to use lo, la or le?

Question

How are direct and indirect object pronouns used?

Answer 1

Too complex to explain in just one post, even if you are an expert in grammar, but in theory, "lo/la/los/las" is used for direct objects (more or less, those things or people upon which you exert the main action), and "le/les" is used for indirect objects (more or less, those things or people that/who are directly affected by the consequences of your actions).

A little complicated, but it still gets my vote. :) - Theet, Aug 17, 2009

Answer 2

I also think that the best way to understand this is to go to Lesson 2 and do the lesson on direct/indirect pronouns. Plus, for lo and la, lo is male and la is female, so that will help you distinguish between pronouns. Again, just watch the video for direct/inderect object pronouns.

Answer 3

Go to Spansh Lesson 2 on this website and do the course on direct and indirect pronouns.

Watch the video and all will be clear.
